“Alone With Gandhari” reprinted in Bloody Red Nose

My short story “Alone With Gandhari” (which originally appeared in Clarkesworld almost a decade ago now) has been reprinted in David Higgins’ Bloody Red Nose: 15 Fears of a Clown anthology.  (For those who don’t recall, this is the one featuring a group of drugged-out lunatic terrorists who dress up like a certain trademarked clown character and attack fast food restaurants and, eventually, decide to attack a high-tech facility where beef is being produced from highly modified cows… and the tale of how one individual gets radicalized to the point of joining these lunatics.)  If you’d like a copy, drop by …

“Winter Wheat” in the current Asimov’s SF!

So, the current issue of Asimov’s SF includes my novella, about which the magazine’s website says very kind things: Our September/October 2019 issue features Gord Sellar’s blockbuster novella about high-tech farming in the Canadian North. “Winter Wheat” is a tour de force that begins in the dead of winter and takes us through a twelve-year cycle in Saskatchewan. You won’t want to miss this amazing story. Very flattering. (You’d hardly guess I was a city kid who’s never lived on a farm.) Oh, and yes, it’s a novella. It spans 13 years, jumping 13 months ahead in each section. It’s …

A**hole Island “Final” Edit/Rewrite Under Way

Well, I’m finally back at work on A**hole Island. It’s one of two novels I drafted between the fall of 2016 and the summer of 2018, at which point I toppled over from exhaustion. Working a day job, doing editing on the side, parenting, trying to sell the odd short story, plus writing at that pace is not sustainable all at once, especially since A**hole Island is the shorter of the two novels. (But also the one that feels most complete.) I started working again on it today, taking some advice from a friend (thanks, Jeremy!) and hacking away at …

UPDATE (23 Feb 2019): I’m a bit late on this, because I was traveling for a pair of events in Los Angeles and Riverside that I’ll blog about soon, but anyway, an update: this story reprint is now live for non-subscribers over on Lightspeed’s website!  Original Post: I’m a bit late on this, thanks to the Lunar New Year holiday over here in Korea, but I’m very pleased to announce that my short story “The Incursus by Asimov-NN#71″ is appearing as a reprint in the February 2019 issue of Lightspeed, alongside a lineup of work by Matthew Baker, Elizabeth Bear, …

The Apex Book of World SF, Volume 5

Since the Apex Book of World SF series launched a decade ago, I’ve always wished that I could help get a Korean story into the series. Well… that’s finally happened.  In the forthcoming fifth volume of the series, edited by Cristina Jurado (and with Lavie Tidhar as the series editor), that’s finally happened. My co-translation with Jihyun Park of Boyoung Kim’s tale of Lamarckian evolution, mythic Korean beasts, and metamorphosis, “An Evolutionary Myth,” will be reprinted, alongside what looks to be another fascinating and amazing collection of work from around the world.  Preorders are now open, and you can get …
